Viswanadh mentioned he had a phone card and got his local relative to get one for me. This means I can now make long distance calls from the apartment! Yay! I have to dial something like a 12-digit card number, then hit 1 for english (no marcar 2 para el español) then a 12-digit PIN, then 011 then country code, then just the regular phonoe number, sans leading 0. Whatapalaver! But I think I heard it say the $5 credit got me 200 minutes to UK landline!
Right. New pics uploaded, camera cleared ready for this afternoon’s “hike” (I’m taking a 2 mile walk around the botanical gardens, so no special footware there) just going to get home and eat, then off.
